(NN 9203 2404) Standing Stones (NR).

OS 6" map (1958)

Two standing stones 5ft 3ins and 7ft high respectively, standing on two well-defined mounds.

F R Coles 1911

As described and illustrated by Coles. The 'mounds' are of no significance.

Resurveyed at 1/2500.

Visited by OS (RD) 12 December 1966.

These two standing stones are as described by Coles at the edge of an arable field. From their elevated situation on the ridge, they command a broad vista to the SE and S. A line drawn from the New Fowlis cairn (NN92SW 2) to a point midway between the two standing stones would pass through what was probably the original position of the cup-marked stone NN92SW 3

Visited by RCAHMS (RJCM, JRS), 10 November 1995.
